Destinations on this cruise

Athens (Piraeus), Greece ^^
Home to the Acropolis, Athens has quite a reputation to live up to: Named for Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, the city is credited with being the cradle of European civilization and birthplace of democracy.

Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt ^^
Though little remains of the ancient city of Alexandria, as the new one was built on top of it, it remains a gateway to Cairo, the pyramids and the fascinating culture of one of the world's oldest civilizations.

Heraklion, (Crete), Greece ^^
As the largest city on the isle of Crete, with a history that dates back to the 9th century, Heraklion has seen its share of travelers over the millennia. Discover the many treasures at the Archaeological Museum, regarded as one of the most important museums in Greece. Given that it’s Greece we’re talking about, the food here is naturally outstanding, and comes with a delicious Cretan touch.

Valletta, Malta ^^
Valetta is a living museum of baroque architecture, constructed by the Knights of St. John 500 years ago, yet also a dynamic hub of cultural and commercial activity, welcoming luxury yachts and cruise ships.

Catania, (Sicily), Italy ^^
Mountainous and rugged, Sicily’s highest point is the tip of that infamous and still active Mt. Etna, and as a result Catania is richly layered, having been buried under lava seven times in recorded history.

Naples, Italy ^^
The “City of Sun” shines as an authentic Italian port unlike any other. Naples is layered with rich history, beautiful boutiques, and a gastronomy scene that will have you coming back for seconds — and maybe even thirds!

Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy ^^
Whether it’s tossing a coin in a fabled fountain or being awestruck by the magnificence of St. Peter’s Basilica and Michelangelo’s masterpieces, Rome seems to live up to its sobriquet, the Eternal City.
